Book Review: Arkansas Treasures by William Rainey

  We went to Arkansas this past year for our Fall Color photography trip and during the trip we spent a day in the field with William Rainey, a superb Arkansas photographer. Seeing his work online spurred us to sign-up for a one-day one-on-one field workshop with him where we spent the day in Little Missouri State Park shooting landscapes. When we returned we ordered his book, Arkansas Treasures, and I wanted to pass on my review of his work and the portfolio of images in...

Get Critiqued

  One of the best things you can do is get your work in front of others.  Before you display your work out for the public to see, it can help to have other photographers look at your work and get their feedback.  They may see things about your image which you don't and in doing so help you see other ways of having shot an image.  Get the feedback of those you respect and whether it is glowing or suggests another approach - put your...

The Path(s) You Choose

Whether you are a photographer or not, the same holds true for all professions. Somewhere along the way someone created the expectation that the path on the left is how anyone’s path who “has it together” should look like. The idea that one would decide upon and just go straight towards a single set of life goals and never deviate or change course from an early age was what successful people do. Anything different meant that one couldn’t make up their mind or were just...

Camera Storm Jacket

  One of the best products to have around, and one that is always in my bag, is a rain cover for my camera.  If you want to stay in the field long after others have packed it in when wet weather moves in, then you owe it to yourself to pick out a rain jacket for your camera.  What's more, by being able to stay out in inclement weather - you're going to get shots that others can't bring back and with a rain cover on...

Arkansas 2015 Fall Color Photography – Day 3

  We woke up late this morning after a very long day of travel and hiking with William Rainey through the Little Misouri State Park yesterday that lasted into the evening.   We were so tired that we stopped off on our way back to the resort last night and picked up dinner at The Chopping Block in Mena, Arkansas and then took it with us to the resort to eat and crash into bed.  We downloaded the day's worth of images onto our hard drive and...
